Body found in a car in Fayette County may belong to a missing Tuscaloosa man, investigators say

TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- A body found in an abandoned car in Fayette County Monday
night may belong to a man reported missing from Tuscaloosa County, investigators
with the Fayette County district attorney's office said Tuesday afternoon.

Keith Cox, chief investigator for the DA's office in Fayette
County, said deputies from their sheriff's office found the body while
examining reports of an abandoned car on Antioch Road at about 9 p.m. Monday.

Cox said an autopsy is soon to come, but they believe the body may belong to
Thurmond Alexander, a man reported missing from Tuscaloosa County. He added
that no foul play was expected in his death, but confirmation for that detail
also depends on the result of the autopsy.
